About company
Summit Integrated Systems

Audio, video, and lighting systems that bring your vision to the world.

Our team consists of former pastors, technical leaders, and volunteers. We partner with architects, engineers, and designers to help local churches leverage technology to achieve their vision.

Summit began its journey in 1997 as a simple bicycle assembly business (Summit Assembly) and quickly transformed into a pro audio installation firm after the bike assembly crew agreed to install 600 ceiling speakers in an office building. Since that first install, Summit has grown into a full-service audio, video, and lighting firm focused on delivering the most engaging worship environments for the local church.
